Cavaliers officials are looking at the test results, ESPN.com reported, and how it might affect the trade that shipped Irving to the Boston Celtics earlier this week. There is speculation that the condition of his injured hip could void the deal.Analysis: Tuesday's trade included Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round draft pick going to the Cavaliers for Irving. There's also the possibility that rather than voiding the deal the Cavaliers could ask for additional compensation such as another draft pick. Thomas suffered the injury during the playoffs and is rehabbing the hip. ESPN reported that he has not begun running.
